I need a reliable legal assistant who can keep me on task. I am a solo who has a few legal cases that I manage. I need someone to help with motion work and to keep critical dates perfectly on track. You will draft, polish, and e-file a variety of motions under my direction, ensuring every citation is accurate and every supporting exhibit is in order before it reaches the court’s electronic filing system. While the motions move forward, you will also watch the calendar like a hawk—tracking court-imposed deadlines, discovery schedules, and any changes that come in via email from counsel. When an opposing attorney proposes new dates or needs clarification, you will be the first point of contact, confirming details with professionalism and then updating me so I never miss a beat. To succeed you should be comfortable working in Microsoft Word (or equivalent), familiar with basic e-filing portals, and able to maintain a shared calendar in Outlook without clutter. Excellent written English, a solid grasp of California civil-procedure terminology, and meticulous attention to detail are must-haves; if you already know Bluebook or a comparable citation guide it will make both our lives easier. Deliverables I expect on an ongoing basis: • A clean, court-ready draft of each motion, delivered in Word and PDF. • A brief edit history or redline showing any substantive changes. • Confirmation that the motion has been successfully filed, with the stamped copy saved to our drive. • Calendar updates that reflect every new deadline, discovery date, or hearing as soon as it is set. If you thrive on organization and can write persuasively within tight page limits, I’m ready to get started. Additionally, from time to time, I may need to refer certain cases out to attorneys and you would be the point of contact to help me search the internet to find a capable attorney willing to take the case. General knowledge of US law, in particular California law is preferred. If you have experience with local courts in Los Angeles, CA that is preferred.

I have previously assisted with California civil-litigation documents, motion preparation, exhibit organization, e-filing support, calendaring, attorney correspondence, and legal research coordination. I understand you need a dependable legal assistant who can manage motion workflows, maintain litigation calendars, monitor deadlines, coordinate with opposing counsel, and support ongoing case organization for a solo practice. I can help prepare court-ready motion drafts, track hearings and discovery deadlines, maintain organized filing systems, assist with e-filing workflows, and provide structured communication support while ensuring procedural details remain on track. My approach focuses on organization, responsiveness, procedural accuracy, and clear legal-document management to help streamline your litigation workflow and reduce administrative burden. You will receive organized motion drafts, redlined revisions, filing-status tracking, calendar updates, deadline monitoring, and structured litigation-support assistance on an ongoing basis.
